CITY OF COLUHBIA HEIGHTS
TO: Public Works Director
SUBJECT: T.H. #85 URBANIZATION
FROM: Engineering Department
DATE: June 10, 1974
The Engineering Department would recommend that the following items be
considered as an addition to the Urbanization Plan as presented by the
Highway Department. '
1. Additional Storm Drain
As you probably know, between 43rd Avenue and 44th Avenue, we have
a problem with water on the roadway during rains of any intensity.
Our request would be for an addiCional storm drain from approximately
43½ Avenue t~ 44th Avenue. There is presently a 12" line from this
area that goes to 43rd Avenue. Lacl. of capacity in this line and
the 43rd Avenue line causes this problem, and it cou]d be sotved
with an addiLional line going to th~' 44th Avenue system.
2. Entrance Access for the Red Barn and the Car Wash, Just North of
49th Avenue and Central Avenue
This item was requested jointly by the Red Barn and the Car Wash
people. Their request received approval by the Traffic Commission
and the City Council, and it has been previously referred to the
Highway Department~ We are att~;ching a sketch to show the intent
of their proposal and will ask that the Highway Departm('nt seriously
consider this item to be included with the urbanization program.
The two petitioners agree that if granted the access from the Central
Avenue south bound lane, they would close the driveway on 49th
Avenue adjacent to the intersection.
3. Turn Lanes 49th Avenue and Central Avenue
o
We have contacted Anoka County on this matter, and they feel we
should have more input from the Highway Department inasmuch as it
is also their problem. This and the Red Barn situation are some-
what of a common problem. We would therefore submit this request.
Anoka County also agrees to work with us on this problem.
Parking
Elimination of parking on the west side of Central from 44th Avenue
to 45th Avenue will provide the left turn lanes at 45th Avenue,
which was requested by the owner of the Hilltop shopping center.
This will certainly be obj ~ctionable by our residents on that block.

5. Traffic Commission Recommendations
The Traffic Commission wishes to inform the City Council that they
have reviewed the plan, that they agree with what has been outlined
by the Highway Department and City Engineer, and that they would
request a study on two additional items.
a. Consideration of a separate entrance for the Ponderosa Steak House.
b. Consideration of a service 'road from the existing driveway at 52nd
Avenue through to the Mobile Station driveway.
Construction on Other' than M.H.D. Right-Of-Way
We would also request that with ~:he full cooperation of the cities
and county providing right-of-way and funds, that any construction
necessary to implement the plan and occurring off of the highway
right-of-way be included in the same contract.
